I love all different kinds of sauces.  What is your favorite?

Here are the sauces I make, regularly:

• Pesto sauce
• Sour cream sauce
• Chunky enchilada sauce
• Thai peanut sauce
• Strawberry sauce
• Sriracha sauce

Of course, that list includes this sauce.  The great thing about this chimichurri sauce is you can put it on just about everything!  Seriously!

You can use it as a marinade, as a salad dressing, on steak, chicken and seafood!  And I dare say on some crackers or bread!

Every single way I mention to use this chimichurri sauce is delicious.  How many sauces do you know of where that statement could be true?

Not many!

Without further ado, let’s get cracking and make this recipe.

How to make chimichurri sauce

Pin

We have parsley, cilantro, cumin, red wine vinegar, olive oil and garlic.

First thing I do is take out my food processor.

Blend away

I wash and de-stem 1 cup each of packed cilantro and parsley. Then I place the greens in the food processor along with 1/2 cup oil, 3 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup pistachios, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon cumin.

I turn the processor on high and let the chimichurri sauce mix.  It takes about two minutes.  I interrupt the food processor halfway through to scrape the sides down.  I want all those yummy cilantro and parsley leaves to be incorporated!!

Once the ingredients all blend together, I scrape the chimichurri sauce into a Ball jar.

I put that little stuffed giraffe in the photo because I think giraffes would love this chimichurri sauce, its being green and all!

Let’s look at it with some leftover parsley in the background.
